Serving Kitchener-Waterloo

Websites, SEO and ads for Kitchener-Waterloo businesses.

I studied at Laurier and Waterloo, so KW is familiar ground. Whether you serve students, tech workers or long-time residents, I build the site and campaigns that reach them.

Based in Hamilton

There is no office in Kitchener-Waterloo. I work from Hamilton and meet Kitchener-Waterloo clients in person when it helps.

Video or a call

The first conversation is free and does not need a trip. Most of the ongoing work does not either.

One person, not a call centre

The person you talk to is the person doing the work, from the first call to the monthly report.

I do not have an office in Kitchener-Waterloo; I am based in Hamilton and work with KW clients remotely, with visits by arrangement.

Three cities, three sets of searches

Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge each search a little differently, and a business that serves all three needs a page for each. Radius targeting keeps ad spend from leaking into the wrong city.

Startups and local businesses alike

I have founded and built products myself, so I understand the difference between a marketing site for a startup and one for a local service business. Both get the same engineering; the pages and the tracking are shaped to the customer.

Useful to have in mind

  • What you sell and which of the three cities you serve
  • Your website and Google profile, if you have them
  • Whether your customers are residents, students or businesses
  • Any ads running now and what they spend

Where Kitchener-Waterloo businesses usually start

WebsitesHand-built in Next.js, fast on a phone, and structured so search engines can read every page. No templates, no page builders, nothing that breaks when a plugin updates.SEOTechnical SEO, local pages and content that compounds. I took RHYMEBOOK from 88 daily impressions to over 100,000 in 57 days with no ad spend, and the same method works for a local business.Google Business ProfileWhen someone searches for a tire shop, a lawyer or a clinic near them, the map results get the call. I set up, optimize and maintain your Google Business Profile so that is you.Google AdsSearch and Shopping campaigns aimed at the people already looking for what you sell, with conversion tracking so you know exactly what each dollar returned. Tuned weekly, reported plainly.Social adsMeta and TikTok campaigns for awareness, offers and retargeting, built by someone who grew a media brand to 800 million reach and ran campaigns for major record labels.AI & automationChat that qualifies leads while you sleep, intake forms that fill your CRM, reminders that send themselves. I have built AI into products since before most people had heard of a prompt.
